I calculated that my (old) TV habit used to cost me over £50 a year. The funny thing is my TV only goes on stand by and it still used a fair amount of energy. Check the post out which I wrote about 2 years ago, with the hike in energy prices it would probably costs a lot more now. I might revisit it to see how much my PS3 costs to run today. http://www.gaj-it.com/32/how-much-do-your-gadgets-cost-to-run-aka-kill-a-watt-or-the-prodigit-2000m/ Yeah, a lot of these devices do cost a lot to run which is something most people don’t consider when purchasing.

I had no idea they consumed so much power..! I was considering a console for my birthday wish-list, will have to factor that into it I think! Thanks for the heads up = never would have occurred to me otherwise! Actually it's also shocking how many people still leave their gadgets and TVs, etc, on when not in use.. I thought everyone would be aware of the waste and cost incurred by now! Jeez! I had no idea they consumed so much power..!
